This book was hard to get into at first. I genuinely did not love the first 30% or so due to the characters and their relationship. However, after that point the story picked up, the fluff started, and the story held my interest. I even stayed up later than I should have finishing the last 75%. This book was a decent read, but not really one of my favorites. For me, there was too much roughness from the male characters, especially the main male character, for my liking. I did like the development of the main female character, it just took a while. I would recommend this book to people who enjoy the gruffer side of dark romance who do not require a ton of fluff with their smut.
